Holo Gram replied to Ed's discussion 'The mob psychology of human sacrifice.'"The movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a story about a young boy named Bruno, whose father is a German soldier. They move to a big house and in the back yard they could see a concentration camp. Bruno loves to go exploring and sees…"
Ozark Atheist commented on Misty: Baytheist Living!'s blog post 'So the Pope said I can go to heaven...'" I think it's great as it's likely to increase tolerance. It is easier to distrust and hate somebody that you believe is going to hell. Definitely a step in the right direction."
Rocky john replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"Tom- lets swap the issue slightly to womans rights in the middle east . Should we not try and put any pressure at all on them to embrace woman as being equal to men because it is only a "dream" and the reality is they are often treated…"
Ron Humphrey replied to Holo Gram's discussion 'Does every living animal have a consciousness?'"As someone who has dogs and loves them they certainly give evidence of being aware.

Welcome to TA
Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
